About Us
Vanda Winfrey, Office Manager
Vanda will greet you with a charming accent and a warm, welcoming smile. She is a dog lover, and part of our family! Vanda has been with us for years and she knows all of our doggie guests personally, and loves them like her own. Vanda has a great touch with their owners, too. She is soft spoken, gentle and very conscientious. Her ingrained understanding and passion for helping animals makes the dogs feel immediately at home here! She spends time getting to know each of our boarding dogs and always gives their owners very detailed reports of how the dog spent his or her time here with us. Vanda will make sure your dog's reservation is scheduled exactly as you request and your dog's stay is cozy and comfortable.
Nichole Linton, Trainer
Nichole Linton handles the training at Atlanta Dogworks. Nichole brings a broad background including obedience training, tracking and trailing, detection work, and working K9 programs. She has supported police and Search & Rescue teams, assisted in military tracking courses, and helped train service dogs for a variety of medical needs. She is licensed in several areas of dog training.
Her approach is thoughtful and clear, with a focus on building calm confidence and strong communication between dogs and their handlers. She tailors her approach to each dog and keeps training simple and effective.
“Training should make life clearer for the dog — not louder. When the dog understands what we’re asking, confidence follows.”
— Nichole Linton
Nichole loves using her skills as a trainer to create the best companion you can think of in your dog. Whether it is enjoying quiet evenings at home with no barking, off-leash hiking, or learning to run agility courses, her goal is to create good and trusting relationships between you and your pup. She brings a warm smile, a gentle way with the dogs and the security of a certified trainer.
Pet Taxi
Nichole mostly drives one of our two pet taxis to pick up and deliver our canine guests. She will ensure your precious pups are transported safely and comfortably, and that all of their belongings make the trip with them. The girls will double check that your dog's reservation with us is properly scheduled with any training, and amenities including a spa day before they return home!
The Rest of the Pack
Megan, Angelique, Matthew, Kat, Katelyln and Amber make up the rest of the pack! You can see them out on the property taking dogs on Nature Walks and doing Play Times with them, throwing a ball or frisbee. Next time you see one of them, say Hi! Your dog will want to say Hi, too!
Must Love Dogs
Because the kennel runs 365 days a year,
our staff members are always hard at work,
even on holidays!
Everyone at Atlanta Dogworks is dedicated to providing
you and your dog with the best possible service!
We love all the dogs!!
